Two Thunbs Up

Yesterday morning I went to see Inkheart.

I enjoyed it quite a lot. The story drew me in, the effects were great, the setting for the film was perfect and it was a wonderful escape from the things that weigh on the mind here in the 'real world'.

Since it came out, I've been trying to make time to see it. I think it all worked out that Saturday was the day for a reason. You see, this movie stars Brendan Fraser. Though a decent actor, he doesn't really stand out to me at all. He does however for my sis Chrissy. How does this tie in, you may ask. Well, it's simple. Yesterday was Chrissy's birthday. She was at Disneyland...I was at the movies and I did think of her often :)

The movie is adapted from the book of the same name. I have not yet read it. Upon the advice of my dear friend E who is (I feel really old now) DRIVING, I saw the movie first.

Her exact quote was: "I've read Inkheart, and I really liked it.You should see it first. Then when you read it, you won't be disappointed when a part you liked in the book isn't in the movie, or if they mess something up. That's how I've been with the Harry Potter movies. I actually hurts me to watch them now..."

I love that she is a book lover...and that she's on Facebook -when she pops up, it makes my afternoons a little (o.k.--a lot) brighter :)

Have I mentioned that I :heart: $5 Flicks??? I guess officially they're called A.M.Cinema. Get it...AMC---A.M.Cinema. They're brilliant! Anyway, I love that they have this special...I get to see a movie for less than it costs to eat out and I still get points on my MovieWatcher card .

Have you seen any good movies lately??
